How do you determine whether a scatter plot has a positive or negative correlation?

We often see patterns or relationships in scatterplots. When the y variable tends to increase as the x variable increases, we say there is a positive correlation between the variables. When the y variable tends to decrease as the x variable increases, we say there is a negative correlation between the variables.

How do you interpret a scatter plot?

You interpret a scatterplot by looking for trends in the data as you go from left to right: If the data show an uphill pattern as you move from left to right, this indicates a positive relationship between X and Y. As the X-values increase (move right), the Y-values tend to increase (move up).

How many types of scatter plots are there?

These are: positive (values increase together), negative (one value decreases as the other increases), null (no correlation), linear, exponential and U-shaped.

How do you know if a relationship is positive or negative?

If the correlation coefficient is greater than zero, it is a positive relationship. Conversely, if the value is less than zero, it is a negative relationship. A value of zero indicates that there is no relationship between the two variables.
